Whipped Cream Topping:

  • 1 cup of heavy whipping cream the billowing clouds of creamy ecstasy

Instructions

Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare Sweet Potatoes:

  • Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Boil or steam until they are tender. Mash the sweet potatoes and let them cool.

Make Pie Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, granulated white sugar, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, cacao powder, melted unsalted butter, ground clove spice, and egg yolks. Mix until well combined.

Add Cinnamon:

  • Incorporate ground cinnamon into the pie filling. Stir until evenly distributed.

Prepare Pie Crust:

  • Line two pie plates with unbaked pie crusts. You can use store-bought crusts or make your own.

Fill Pie Crusts:

  • Divide the sweet potato filling evenly between the two pie crusts, smoothing the tops with a spatula.

Bake:

  • Place the pies in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.

Cool:

  • Allow the pies to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.

Make Whipped Cream:

  • While the pies are cooling, prepare the whipped cream topping. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

Garnish:

  • Once the pies have cooled, garnish the tops with a generous layer of whipped cream.

Serve:

  • Slice and serve the red velvet sweet potato pie, enjoying the rich, velvety texture and delicious flavors.

Enjoy:

  • Indulge in this delightful Red Velvet Sweet Potato Pie, a unique twist on a classic dessert!

Notes

– Use canned sweet potatoes to save time.
– If the top of the pie starts to brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
– For a sweeter pie, add an extra 1/4 cup of sugar.
– For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese.
– To make a vegan version, use vegan cream cheese and substitute the butter with coconut oil.
